It was strange, because he'd already had breakfast, but there was no rule or law (that he knew of) which stated that breakfast couldn't be had twice in the space of a few hours. With plenty of room for some more deliciousness, Zeke followed the crowds out to the lake and hung back a short while.

...

He watched for a while, spotting a few people he knew in the crowds, some he liked, some he didn't much care about. He noticed also that Flamsteed was making his presence known, and Maggie wasn't far away either.

Deciding he could go for a pancake stack, Zeke approached the breakfast bar, looking it over to see if there was perhaps something else that took his fancy.

Maggie smiled for some reason when Dante said sorry.

What he said next though wasn't as great, causing Maggie to frown yet again. It was starting to become a permanent thing, that frown. Meh. They needed more fun things happening at this school. What if the frown gave her wrinkles?? Like permanent ones. Magdalena Natalie Traulton was WAY TOO YOUNG and beautiful to have wrinkles.

Before she got the chance to reply they were joined by Hugo. "YOUR company?" Maggie gave him an unimpressed look while tearing off another piece of croissant. Also who was he to tell her to relax? She huffed softly and made a point of looking around again.

Oh.

Maggie looked back to Dante. "We should find a place to sit." And like get away from the buffet you know. Hugo could follow them or not follow them whichever he preferred. She didn't ca- Actually wait no. It probably looked even better if she had TWO boys trailing after her. So..."You should come too." She stated with a nod to Hugo. Yes. Him too. Mhm.

The little Niffler poked his head up from the ground, his long snout presenting first.

SNIFF SNIFF

Mmmmmm baconnnnn

The itty bitty Niffler scrambled up from his lair as fast as his itty bitty legs would move him. He was HUNGRY and there was more than just bacon in the air.

SNIFF SNIFF SNIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

CHEESE! Oh, Niffler just HADto get some cheese. And look at all the big mammals walking around on their two legs, their opposable thumbs coming in handy to hold their bacon and cheese.

Niffler darted in between their legs, not wanting to get trampled before he had a chance to eat some bacon and cheese.

But Niffler's attention was caught by something. Something SHINY

A NEW SHINY

Niffler scrambled his feet and darted towards the oldest mammal there, even his hair was a shiny. Niffler scurried up the table and took a shiny with prongs coming out of one end between its teeth. A new shiny for his collection, and it shall be Nifflers SHINY.

Olly loved breakfast. But he did not like having breakfast at 10am. See, Olly tended to be an early riser. So he had been ready for his breakfast two hours ago. But, in order to save room for this wonderful and delicious event, he had not eaten then. So by the time the even rolled around, Olly's stomach was grumbling pretty loudly. He was definitely not late, because he had hurried to get down to the grounds as soon as he could. Olly made a beeline for the buffet; he could practically taste the breakfast already.

What did he want? Some bacon, definitely. It had become irresistible as soon as he was within smelling range. Pancakes? Of course. They looked nice and fluffy, probably cooked to perfection. No burned tops, and no raw insides. Oh how about a muffin? Olly wondered what flavors there were. Almost anything would be acceptable at that moment. The first year felt like he could eat the entire buffet table and still be hungry. (Everything on the table, not the table itself he didn't think that would taste very good).

OMG IT WAS SO CUTE.

Olly didn't even have a chance to grab a plate. As soon as he got to the table he spotted something else, something that wasn't food. It was a small, furry thing and it was adorable. He was pretty sure it was a niffler, but he'd never actually seen one so he couldn't be positive. Whatever it was, he wanted one.

Olly reached out, trying to scoop up the niffler. Hopefully it wasn't too fast to catch. He didn't think it would be, considering it seemed to busy with stealing the scoops to pay attention to the kids around the table. All he wanted to do was snuggle it.

SPOILER!!: Austin!

No, he would feel much better if the professor chose one for him.

He was about to respond to Hady when she was already running towards the food. There was no blaming her. The food was amazing, especially the pancakes. He couldn't get enough of them. Speaking of which, he grabbed his plate and began eating his own stack. Merlin's beard these were good.

And now someone else was talking to him. Oh! Mr. Kittridge. "Oh trust me," He began, once he swallowed. "I'm one step ahead!" He held up his plate for him to see. There was still a few slices of bacon, and two or three pancakes left. Whatever they were about to do, Austin was ready. Food wise that was. He turned back to Professor Flamsteed, ready for a pet to join him on his journey.

Any of them may as well be the same answer as none of them. It was like when he asked Medea what she wanted for dinner and she said 'anything' which didn't REALLY mean anything but rather meant she wanted something specific and he was supposed to be able to guess what that something was.

So...was that the game you were playing too, Mr. Moore? Was it really ANY of them? Hmmmmmmmmm?

Airey was just going to stand there staring at the Ravenclaw for a bit and nodded his head towards Leobald when the young man acknowledged him with the display of food on his plate.

"Well...the choice is yours."

SPOILER!!: YOONGI!

He would be insulting his cooking… Yoongi smiled as Adi grabbed a few and then turned to Ava as she took a few as well.

How could anyone like blueberries? He would never find out.

And there she went again with the Flower Boy but this time he was prepared! He had already asked Professor Dakest what it meant and he wasn’t bothered with it anymore. “No problem” oh tall “Ava.” hehe “ Well, I prefer sandwiches and perhaps some bacon and eggs” he answered and grabbed a sandwich as he spoke. “Hi Candice” he also greeted his fellow Gryffindor who had walked to them.

Pancake or waffles, Mr. Hyland? …Mr.Hyland….that was him! The Gryffindor realised that he had been staring in the direction where his Head of House was , thinking about the HORRIBLE AND MEAN class and nearly dropped his sandwich. “Oh! uhm…I don’t know…” he said “Both?” Did the man even know how uncomfortable he was now? Cause he had been trying to NOT get his attention. He was far too scared that FLOATING would happen again.

Luckily, Henric came to the rescue and he could turn his attention away without being rude. “Hey Henric, I know I do” he said and ate the last bit of his sandwich and grabbed an apple.

Both.

"A stellar answer, Mr. Hyland," he saluted. Take a point or two for confirming the man's suspicions regarding his stomach? That was a bit too superfluous, wasn't it?

"I'd like to place an order of pancakes and waffles," he called out to no one in particular. House elf? Headmaster Old Man River? Who had the free hands at the moment?

SPOILER!!: NOELLE!

Swoon!

Noelle was going to be the best pet rock mother ever... If that was a thing. she cradled the rock to her chest, which wasn't hard since it took up a good amount of arm space. "Thank you so much professor!! I am HONORED." Noelle beamed at the boy. "Austin was it? We will have to get our rocks together for play dates." And that was final.. It would happen.

HADY!

Noelle beamed at her older friend. "LOOK HADY! Professor gave me Dwayne!" She held up Dwayne best she could before dropping him back on her lap. She needed to refuel... She needed BACON.

"Ah, just a moment, Miss Summers!" he shouted after the young Gryffindor while he rummaged through his enchanted breast pocket for a piece of parchment and spare quill. "Just need you to sign this form and --- SWEETDFGDFDSOOOOOOLSTICEGAAAH!"

Up up UP into the air went the pet rock adoption forms. Now it was raining parchment. A few sheets of it anyway.

A FUZZY BEAST OF DESTRUCTION HAD APPEARED AND JUST TRIED TO EAT THE HEADMASTER'S FACE! DID EVERYONE ELSE SEE THAT?! TINY FUZZY HAIR FLESH EATING BEAST. SHEDDING HAIR BEAST.

"NO NO STAY AWAY FROM THAT MR. THOMSHABORZLIOANTS!"

DID HE NOT JUST SEE THE WAY IT HAD VICIOUSLY ATTACKED SOMEONE?!

AND WHY DID STUDENTS HAVE SUCH LONG NAMES AT TIMES LIKE THESE?! He had a hard enough time not butchering them on good days in class.

The astronaut quickly closed the lid to the box of remaining pet rocks as well as scooped up Pebbles all in one swift movement.

Not to worry, he would keep you safe. Shhhhh. There there.

Five bazillion students came along and nobody said a single thing to her. Man. What kind of world was this? Norah busied herself with eating a croissant as politely as she could, which was hard because those darn flakey things were so tempting to just lick of the plate. Which she did. But discreetly, okay? It still counted a lot more than not being discreet. What was so bad about getting to those last few flakes was really beyond her. Everybody had tongues, it couldn't be THAT offensive. Whoever made teh ruls had their priorities all wrong.

She nodded back to Zander, too scared to open her mouth and grin or else all her croissant would come spilling out of there. Maybe she'd shoved too much into her mouth at one time. Or MAYBE she was just excited about that croissant. Who could tell, really? Norah sure couldn't. But what she COULD tell was that there was a cutiepie fluffy thing scurrying around. That's right, a cutiepie fluffy thing. It'd gone by so fast that she couldn't tell much about it except that it was cute, it was fluffy, and she wanted to snuggle it. And probably that she make sure it didn't mess up the special breakfast because that was the responsible thing to do, but that bit only occurred as an afterthought.

Waving her empty plate around, Norah sprinted and wove between students, coming to a halt before nearly tripping over a firstie (Olly). Was he going to catch it TOO? "Professor Botros, watch out!" The furry thing was heading for the headmaster for sure. She could just tell. She had furry-thing telepathy. She turned her gaze to the boy and held out a hand. It was the one who'd lied in Potions about breaking the rules when he really hadn't. What was his name again? "Norah Kittredge. Let's do this thing." He'd KNOW she meant catching the creature, right? There was really nothing better to be doing.

Mr. thomawhat? Was Flamsteed talking to him? Considering the instruction sounded like staying away from the cute animal, Olly decided to ignore him. His name had technically note even been said, so it wasn't like he was disobeying the professor. Right? Right. Oh, and there was somebody introducing herself to him. He liked making friends, but he was a little preoccupied at the moment.

"Hi Norah," he said to be polite. And shaking her hand, okay. Now could he-oh. She wanted to catch the thing too? They could work together? Perfect. He grinned at the older girl. "I'm Oliver." That was when he spotted her prefect badge and had the best idea ever. He pointed right at it, but since she was so close to him he ended up just poking it. Whatever, it still accomplished the same thing. "If it's attracted to shiny things, maybe we can lure it over here with your badge."

HE WAS A GENIUS.

"Hiya Oliver." Now that introductions were squared away, there was a MISSION to attend to. Norah paused to turn and stare at Professor Flamsteed who seemed to be having some sort of seizure. What was a Thomshaborzlioants? Maybe that was one of the rocks' names. That totally made sense. Not as cool as Dwayne, but definitely acceptable. Without another thought towards the shouting, she turned back to Oliver who was....sticking a finger on her chest. Uh. Hi?

She followed the path of his finger with her eyes 'till they reached her Prefects badge. Oh. OOOOOOHHHH. She'd forgotten that she'd pinned it to the front of her pea coat before leaving the dorms ON TIME like a real responsible person. Man, her mum really had to give her memory more credit. Okay fine. Her memory really didn't deserve any credit at all, because aside from this one time she had a tendency to remember all the wrong things. Not this time though, nuh uh. There was a BADGE there, which was good because otherwise chest-poking was not something Norah was entirely sure she'd be on board with. "It likes shiny...oh...a niffler." Man oh man oh man. Nifflers were the CUTEST but also could take your fingers right off if you weren't careful. It wasn't their fault 'cause they were just excited about shiny things (who wouldn't be?), but still. Nodding slowly, she grinned at the firstie. "Genius! But we've got to be careful." Holy bananas. She was that person. The 'be careful!' person. How about a PLOT TWIST. Somebody needed to inform her mum that those words had actually come out of Norah's mouth, because whether it'd ever happen again was highly questionable.

She set her plate down and dug a hand into her pocket, pulling out a little bag of emergency glitter, a yo yo, two chocolate frogs, a pretty leaf she'd picked up ages ago, and then a tiny stuffed cat. Handing the yo yo to Oliver, she replaced the contents of her coat pocket once more. Norah unpinned her shiny badge and pulled the end of the string toward her, tying two little nots around the back of the badge before letting go and letting it hang from the boy's hands. "If you want we can use this to lure it over without it biting your fingers off, 'cause that would probably hurt real bad." OH YEAH. There was nothing like a good plan.

When he realized the professor wasn't going to just give him one, he knelt down and looked at the box of rocks. They were all looking up at him, as if to beg him for a place to stay. He picked up one of the smaller ones, and immediately recognized her to be Rockanne. She was one of the first to be dropped in their lesson. "I think she will do just fine prof... I mean Admiral." It was only now, since he thought about the lesson, that he realized the professor liked to be called Admiral. He felt kind of bad for forgetting, but the man did say they didn't have to call him that outside of class.

"That would be awesome Noelle." It was Noelle right? At least that's what he thought the Admiral said. But he didn't have long to ponder, for a loud yelling came from behind him. Turning back around, he saw large amounts of paper flying through the air. A niffler, huh? He put Rockanne in his pocket to keep her safe, rubbing his thumb along her back to calm her down. There was no way a Niffler was going to get his new pet.

-________- ADI NO.

"Hi Mr. Rehman," he said just so the boy would understand they shouldn't mention the prank in public. He didn't want everyone to know they could go around playing pranks on him, tyvm.


Cosgrach turned to Leo after Adi, and smiled at his mate. "It indeed is," he said, "but I guess the students wouldn't have it any sooner." He eeeeeeeeeeyed the food. "Bacon and eggs, yes." And it was their turn! Cosgrach practically... attacked the food. Yes. He put everything he saw enough to feed in on his plate.

MHM, THIS WAS DELICIOUS.


Cosgrach grunted something, but his mouth was already full with the DELICIOUS so she probably didn't understand it, How he was that day was obvious on his face though: enjoying the food, weather and students' company. He finally gulped down the piece (sorry for making her wait oops) and said "I'm perfect, you?" Smiiiiiile and another bite of the bacon.


Oh look a niffler - who darted straight for the headmaster, hehehe. Cosgrach took a step back to watch it while eating.

Oh, Sabbath liked coffee? Aldous found it unusual since he is used to see mostly grown ups drinking it. "My body doesn't function well with caffeine," That was an understatement. It didn't tolerate it AT ALL. He would turn hyper and strange and his heart would pound so hard. He'd only tried it once and decided to never again try it. "I like tea, though," As to not look like a total loser. Did that count?!

And his first choice was a jam and cheese sandwich.

Oh, what was that thing that passed through his legs. Aldous's eyes followed the creature that was headed now towards the headmaster. "Look it's a niffler!" He had never seen one in form but he did see picture which of course was not the same a all. This was SO cool!

"Hi," Davie said again, if only because he didn't know what to say back to the bigger girl when she returned his hi. He crunched down on a piece of bacon and munched it thoughtfully while he thought about what to say next, but luckily the girl didn't leave him wordless. She had a lot of good questions, actually.

"Dot," he repeated in between chewing, "I'm Davie. First year. You have my ininitials, did you know?" And yes, he LOOOOVED this bacon. Davie's wide eyes got wider at Dot's offering. "Sure! Do you not like bacon? My mum says it's not very good for you or your blood pressures but Hogwarts isn't really that stressful and she's not here anymore to tell me not to have any so..." So this Eggstravaganza was a wonderful occasion to eat bacon. He nodded to show that yes, eggs were just eh. They weren't as amazing as bacon, obviously.

Speaking of Dot though, Davie let out a small little, "Huh," of exclamation. "You're a prefect? Do you know what we're doing today at this camp thing?" Besides watching nifflers nuzzle the Headmaster? Davie snuggled his plate of bacon closer to him protectively. Nifflers probably liked bacon only second to shiny things.

A small squeal escaped the lionesses' lips as she spotted a Niffler flying around the table. Hand flying to her mouth, Olympia glanced round to see if anyone had heard. Phew.

Olympia tilted her head to the side still watching the small, furry creature with an expression of mild interest on her face. Aw. It was actually quite cute. Do they let people touch them? She half held out her hand is if to reach for the creature, then quickly changed her mind. Hm.

She sighed and turned her attention back to the breakfast table. Maybe she should eat something else just to pass the time.

Adi squished Marsha. She was one of his favourite persons to hug. "Look at all that food you've got there! Developing quite a bit of appetite, I see,'' he joked. Ah, yes! The cold. "I'm with you on that. I don't feel that either.'' The cold weather was what he liked the best. ''Yep, since you're out so early, you may have gotten used to it. We should run together everyday, you know.'' A daily run with Marsha. Adi would like that a ton!

More persons were calling out to him. Wasn't he quite the popular one? Yes, he was and he loved it! "Hiii, Ava! Biscuits?'' He edged closer to his first year friend. "This would be a perfect time to play a prank if you've got anything up your sleeve.'' Hehe. His eyes moved to the next person grabbing his attention. Hady! "Heya, Hades! Grabbed your breakfast as yet?''

Yoongi had too many blueberries? One can never have too many of ANYTHING when it came to eatables. "Thanks, man. You tried these biscuits? They're awesome.'' Hehe. Adi was advertising the biscuits... He was their number one fan!

Hehe. Candice and her nails. Adi proceeded to bite into one of his biscuit. Onnomnom. "That offer still up for a manicure?'' he asked cheerfully. He didn't care what Candice thought of him. He would just keep being himself. His attention then diverted to Henric. "Henny! You need to check for all pumpkin things. I'm not sure if the elves made any.'' Haha. Poor Henric would panic if there weren't pumpkin things... Adi still laughed when he thought of how he had Disillusioned the pumpkin pasties at the Hufflepuff Hangout on their first night back at Hogwarts. The sight of Henric crawling around and hunting for them was just too hilarious.

Awwh! Hadn't Culloden gotten over the prank? Adi still laughed every time he thought of it all. And the best thing? He had pictures to remind him of the event for the rest of his life. Hmmm. Maybe he should give Culloden a few. You know, to remember his student by after he graduated. He winked at the man. "How's it going? Best watch what you eat, Professor.'' Hehe. It was just teasing. It wasn't like he was going to turn anyone into canaries here. Oh, hey, Professor Cassie, Hiya, Jet! Adi waved to the two.

But wait!

Did someone say Niffler? Eeeeep! He wanted to keep a niffler for himself! Whereeee was it? He spun around to see the Niffler after one of the shinies from Botros. Ahhh! Watch out, Professor Headmaster!

Was she late?

Paulina didn't really like mornings, so it was honestly a miracle that she was showing up for this breakfast at all. Yawning, she slowly made her way towards the others. At least there were a few people that she knew. And house elves! And a niffler!!

She laughed as she watched it, then turned her attention back to the people around her. She waved to Adi and the girl named Hady. Bleu also got a wave.

Well EXCUUUUUUUUUSE YOU.

Phillip was standing there being INNOCENT and taking some delicious bacon for himself when SOMEONE bumped him out of the way. He even ended up stumbling! STUMBLING. Needless to say, the first year was OFFENDED. Sure, he was small and a first year but he still MATTERED and he was going to make sure of that.

The Slytherin turned to glare at toilet boy Dante. What was the right punishment for this one? A good comeback about biscuits or DOING something to get his point across? Phillip half wanted to grab some biscuits, squeeze them until they turned into crumbs and then shower the boy with them just because it sounded like a fun thing to do but, alas, the boy was too tall.

So, the first year did the next best thing: he STOMPED down on Dante's foot. H A R D.

That'll teach him to be ru--

.............

WHAT IN THE NAME OF MERLIN?!

Was that....... was that........ it was the creature that liked shiny things! A niffler! And it was going after the Headmaster Man. It was as if the world had slowed down and Phillip was now watching everything in slow motion through wide eyes and a half-confused, half-shocked expression on his face. Did he have anything shiny on him? Was it going to come after HIM next?

Instinctively, the first year moved to stand somewhere closer to Dante. He was going to be his human shield, okay? Okay.

Ellery was LATE because she was plaiting her hair into six braids, then braiding three and three, so she had MEGA BRAIDS. She looked a bit like an alien, because the multiple braids made her hair stick out instead of laying flat against her cheeks. But, she looked like a PRETTY alien, which was the whole aesthetic she was going for, hence her holographic, thick soled shoes. She was otherworldly, get it?

OH LOOK, HER BROTHER. She prepared to jump on his back, piggyback style, but he was BUSY. Talking to a PREFECT (Norah, if her calculations were correct.)

TRAITOR. She eyed them both suspiciously, then inched forward to hear the tail end of Norah's sentence. Something about luring a niffler.

"Catch it, Olly, so we can have it as a pet." She didn't blame him. It was probably NORAH'S FAULT. For luring HIM in with dark magic.

Or…womanly wiles. OH NO.

Looking around again, she saw the David person she had met a couple times talking to ANOTHER prefect. Dot, or something. All these girls were brainwashing the boys. EVIL.

Dante chuckled when he saw Phillip stumble. He had no bumped him that hard. It was as light a bump as he would ever give even a first year. He even started eating some bacon. He figured Phillip would mumble some choice words and leave to eat.What he did not expect was to get his foot stomped on.

Merlin, that hurt!

Now it was Dante turn to mumble some choice words and try not to jump up and down because his foot hurt. And why was he trying to what it seemed like hide behind him. He was no Prefect or human shield. Use the prefects or Head Boy Zander for that.

"What?"

Oh there was a niffler

"Do you have any shiny stuff on you or jewelry?"



See she always looked better when she was smiling. Her frowning was never good for anyone. And usually meant trouble was on the horizon and he agreed one hundred percent with what Hugo said. It was only ten in the morning. They should be relaxing, and eating, and yes Maggie. Enjoying even enjoying the company you are in.

"No frowning at this whatever it is. Plus you look better smiling." That is a fact. Plus with Hugo is right. It is only like a little after ten..maybe. It is time to relax. See maybe she was taking the two fine slytherin gentleman's words to mind because sitting down could lead to relaxing. It was better than standing.

"Alright"

He was going to say Hugo can come along. But look at that she even asked him. This was something new. He looked to Hugo, grinned and shrugged.

"It seemed like our plans have been made for us"

Milo had slept in a tad late that morning since he had been up late the night before working on his Astronomy homework but as he rolled out of bed and took his things to the lavatory he realized that even though it was the weekend, he was mostly alone in the dorm. After peeking down in the Common Room it had been empty too! With a jolt though, he remembered that their was a breakfast event down on the Grounds near the Lake that morning and he was MISSING IT!

He had dressed at top speed and had accidentally put his navy sweater on backwards but he made it and slid into a seat not really caring who he was with yet. He was starving and could figure out who to talk to once he had gotten a plate. Milo grinned at the Headmaster who was helping with the food and some of the other Professors as he stacked some pancakes on his plate and starting to look for the peanut butter. Aha! He used a knife to slather a healthy serving of the spread on his pastry and then settled in. He took a bite and laughed out loud as apparently a Niffler had arrived and was trying to play with a few people not far down the table.

Noelle was admiring her pet rock. She was in loooove. She turned to Austin, and smiled. "Yes! We will have to! Oh and yes! My name is Noe---" She was interrupted by yelling.

Wait?? Wait?? What was happening?! Why were there papers in the air?? And what was THAT?!?!?

The professor was freaking out. If the professor was freaking out, she should be freaking out! But, she had a huge rock sitting in her lap. Suddenly, she realized how big the rock actually was. "WHAT IS THAT THING?!? Professor are you okay?!" She wasn't sure if she could move to check on him.

And she was stuck.

What if that thing ate her?!?

Groaning, she pushed Dwayne off her lap and managed to get up. "What do I do?? What should I do??" Where was Sabbie? Her levelheaded person?? He'd know what to do.

”I am fantastic, Professor. Thank you.” Grinning wide, Marsha laughed as she pushed a little of her whispy hair back from her face. ”Starving though as I have been up for a good few hours already… I’m so ready for this - Professor Botros looks like he has put on quite the spread.” ANNNND Sha was eyeing it ALL up.

…. Alll of it. Nothing was safe.

”I know.. I’m starving though! I was running just as the sun came up this morning and I’ve been doing my homework since I got back. I figured, that way I could relax tonight and tomorrow after this camp.” Giggling, Marsha squished her brother again. Yup, brotherbrother.

”Oh! Running. Hehe. There are a lot of us this year. I’m talking to Mr McLeod about starting a running club? We're going to talk to Professor Botros about it too.. I think we could find some incredible trails to run if we tried to and put our knowledge together.” Hehe. That and hyper Marsha Hanover needs good long trails to run so she doesn’t annoy everyone else. Energy has to be displaced somewhere. Hehehehe. ”Tomorrow then? We run, yes?” Hehehe, annnnny excuse!

Uhhmmmm, Botros looked around him a couple times before taking one of the fruit bowls. "Natural sugar's okay?" He asked the girl right when people (kids) around him started squealing and/or telling him to watch out...?? Huh? Botros tuuuuurned around...

Aaahhhhh!

Botros blinked at the animal darting towards him. Him? What did HE have?? He raised his arms in case the creature wanted to steal one of his giant shiny utensils? That's probably it!

Text Cut: the UN-saving people, sheesh :P

Olly reached out, trying to scoop up the niffler. Hopefully it wasn't too fast to catch. He didn't think it would be, considering it seemed to busy with stealing the scoops to pay attention to the kids around the table. All he wanted to do was snuggle it.

It was the one who'd lied in Potions about breaking the rules when he really hadn't. What was his name again? "Norah Kittredge. Let's do this thing." He'd KNOW she meant catching the creature, right? There was really nothing better to be doing.

The professor was freaking out. If the professor was freaking out, she should be freaking out! But, she had a huge rock sitting in her lap. Suddenly, she realized how big the rock actually was. "WHAT IS THAT THING?!? Professor are you okay?!" She wasn't sure if she could move to check on him.

And she was stuck.

What if that thing ate her?!?

Groaning, she pushed Dwayne off her lap and managed to get up. "What do I do?? What should I do??" Where was Sabbie? Her levelheaded person?? He'd know what to do.

AHHHHH! Everybody's shrieks were making him nervous even more!

Botros, who met many Nifflers in his life thank you very much, was not scared of the thing. He simply started... escaping. He turned away from the breakfast bar, arms still raised, and started loping his way towards the forest moving as fast as he could so the creature wouldn't climb up on him?

In fact! Botros threwwww the first big fork in his hand to the left direction and the spatula to the right, then turned to see which way the Niffler would go.... if at all?

Zander froooowned at her. Okay, okay so he wasn't exactly tan. BUT HE WAS TRYING!! Well, hardly. But it's the thought that counts, okay? He unintentionally looked over at his arm, assessing just how pasty it looked... It wasn't even that bad, was it? Uh. "Yeah well, you know.. It has to do with our altitude and the reverse global warming and stuff..." That along with all the other stuff that Zander was making up. It wasn't his fault. It was clearly all problems with the sky. Maybe it was THAT cloudy here. Hmph.

What even!? He didn't have time for this. He was looking for coffee. How did he even get dragged into talking to someone? Merlin. Please have mercy on this poor boy's soul, kthanks.

"You never know," he shrugged. "I used to get by without coffee too when I was a kid." He was 100% an adult now. Did that puberty thing ages ago. Plus he was 17. That had to mean something. He was legal in the wizarding world. 500% not a kid anymore. NOPE. Heh.

Did they make caffeinated teas? Zander scratched his head, but nodded all the same. "I mean... I reckon they do... I know people who only use tea," and not coffee. So clearly tea had to have caffeine. How else would those people not be zombies? "You think they might be hiding it under these counter tops??" He was suspicious now. Clearly they were hiding the coffee somewhere. "I mean... There's no way Flamsteed's that chipper on his own, right?" That bloke HAD to be running on coffee. Just look at the way he shrieked at that Slytherin kid.

Speaking of which, was that Niffler messing with the Headmaster? LOL. Zander would've chuckled or maybe helped. But he was too exhausted. This is why they needed coffee. It was for the good of the people. Really, he would've been saving the world by now if he had even a single cup. Hogwarts was missing out.

Hugo rolled his eyes "Yes, mine" obviously. "You need like a chill pill or something" just saying. Heh. He shrugged and turned to the buffet table because there was bacon and it was calling him.

The next thing he heard made him looked at Dante with a smirk. Was he saying that Maggie looked good when she smiled? Hugo wiggled his eyebrows at him and winked. Yeah, go Dante! "What's going on there?" Hugo whispered to Dante and followed them to wherever they were sitting.

"Hey Yoongi! Hopefully there are still some left for me, they look super amazing...can I have some of that?"Henric asked cheerily and pointed at the sandwich Yoongi just ate. Ohhh was that a bottle of pumpkin juice on the side?! Henric eagerly reached for it,"I like this."

Henric eyes grew wide at Adi's comment about not having any pumpkin pastries in the breakfast menu."Whaaat! That's impossible, how could they leave out the best food pastries in the world!" According to his world, that is..."You're not hiding them again, do you?" He looked at Adi with a amused suspicion. It was a great hassle trying to find them, thanks to Adi's joke on him.
